August 27th Summer Mathematics Packet Fraction Operations Hints/Guide: When adding and subtracting fractions, we need to be sure that each fraction has the same denominator, then add or subtract the numerators together. For example: 1 3 1 6 1+ 6 7 + = + = = 8 4 8 8 8 8 That was easy because it was easy to see what the new denominator should be, but what about if 7 8 it was not so apparent? For example: + = 12 15 For this example, we must find the Lowest Common Denominator (LCM) for the two denominators 12 and 15. Multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, . . . Multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, . . . The LCM of 12 and 15 is 60 7 8 35 32 35 + 32 67 7 Note: Be sure that answers are always So, + = + = = =1 . 12 15 60 60 60 60 60 in lowest terms To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and denominators together, and then simplify the product. To divide fractions, we find the reciprocal of the second fraction (flip the numerator and the denominator) and then multiply the two together. For example: 2 1 2 1 2 3 2 4 8 • = = and ÷ = • = 3 4 12 6 3 4 3 3 9 Exercises: Perform the indicated operation No Calculators! SHOW ALL WORK. Use a separate sheet of paper (if needed) and staple to this page. 1. 6 2 + = 7 3 2. 8 3 + = 9 4 3. 9 2 ! = 11 5 4. 5 5 ! = 7 9 5. 6 2 • = 11 3 6. 7 3 • = 9 5 7. 6 1 ÷ = 7 5 8. 7 3 ÷ = 11 5 &2 5# &4 1# 9. $ ' ! ÷ $ + ! = % 3 9 " %7 6 " 10. 3 4&5 9 # + + = 4 5 $% 9 11 !" Algebra 1 &3 4# &5 9 # 11. $ + ! $ + ! = % 4 5 " % 9 11 " Page 1 Summer Mathematics Packet Decimal Operations Hints/Guide: When adding and subtracting decimals, the key is to line up the decimals above each other, add zeroes so all of the numbers have the same place value length, then use the same rules as adding and subtracting whole numbers. The answer will have a decimal point in line with the problem. For example: 34.5 34.5 + 6.72 + 9.045 = 6.72 9.045 50.265 To multiply decimals, the rules are the same as with multiplying whole numbers, until the product is determined and the decimal point must be located. The decimal point is placed the same number of digits in from the right side of the product as the number of decimal place values in the numbers being multiplied. For example, 8.54 · 17.2, since 854 · 172 is 146888, then we count the number of decimal places in the factors (3) and move in from the right three places, so the final product is 146.888 To divide decimals by a whole number, the division process is the same as for whole numbers, but the decimal points are lined up in the dividend and the quotient. For example, to divide 51.06 by 3, the process is the same as if the problem were 5,106 divided by 3, with the decimal point from the quotient moving up into the quotient to create the final answer of 17.02 17.02 3 51.06 Exercises: Perform the indicated operation No Calculators!

Use a separate sheet of paper (if needed) and staple to this page. 1. 15.709 + 2.34 + 105.06 = 2. 64.308 + 164.18 + 1005.7 = 3. 87.4 – 56.09 = 4. 500.908 – 4.72 = 5. 6108.09 – 2004.704 = 6. 9055.3 – 242.007 = 7. 63 x .04 9. 8.904 x 2.1 11. 35 70.35 Algebra 1 8. .87 x .23 12. 14 50.512 Page 2 10. 4.2 x .602 13. 23 74.888 Summer Mathematics Packet Add and Subtract Mixed Numbers Hints/Guide: When adding mixed numbers, we can add the whole numbers and the fractions separately, then simplify the answer. For example: 1 3 8 18 26 2 2 1 4 +2 = 4 +2 =6 = 6 +1 =7 =7 3 4 24 24 24 24 24 12 When subtracting mixed numbers, we subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately, then simplify the answer. For example: 3 15 18 15 3 1 7 !2 =7 !2 =5 =5 4 24 24 24 24 8 1 3 2 3 10 3 5 Note: regrouping needed in order to subtract 5 !3 = 5 !3 = 4 !3 =1 4 8 8 8 8 8 8 Exercises: Solve in lowest terms.

Use a separate sheet of paper (if needed) and staple to this page. 1 3 1. 3 + 5 = 2 5 2. 6 17 4 +8 = 25 7 3. 6 2 7 +9 = 3 9 4. 8 3 7 !6 = 10 9 5. 9 7 7 !2 = 15 12 8 3 6. 12 ! 7 = 9 4 Algebra 1 Page 3 Summer Mathematics Packet Multiply and Divide Mixed Numbers Hints/Guide: To multiply mixed numbers, we can first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. This is done my multiplying the denominator by the whole number part of the mixed number and them adding the numerator to this product. This sum is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator of the improper fraction is the same as the denominator of the mixed number. 2 2 17 For example: 3 leads to 3 · 5 + 2 = 17, so 3 = . 5 5 5 Once the mixed numbers are converted into improper fractions, we multiply and simplify just as 1 1 26 7 182 2 1 with regular fractions. For example: 5 • 3 = • = = 18 = 18 5 2 2 2 10 10 5 To divide mixed numbers, we must convert to improper fractions then multiply by the reciprocal 1 1 5 10 5 3 15 3 of the second fraction and simplify. For example: 2 ÷ 3 = ÷ = • = = 2 3 2 3 2 10 20 4 Exercises: Solve in lowest terms. No Calculators! SHOW ALL WORK. Use a separate sheet of paper (if needed) and staple to this page. 2 3 1. 6 • 7 = 3 7 1 4 2. 3 • 6 = 3 5 1 3. 7 •6 = 8 1 5 4. 4 ÷ = 4 7 2 3 5. 3 ÷ 4 = 3 7 6. 2 8 8. 8 ÷ 7 = 7 9 9. 6 7. 6 1 2 ÷8 = 5 5 Algebra 1 Page 4 3 3 ÷2 = 4 11 4 3 ÷3 = 7 5 Summer Mathematics Packet Laws of Exponents Hints/Guide: There are certain rules when dealing with exponents that we can use to simplify problems. They are: Adding powers a ma n = a m+ n (a m )n = a mn Multiplying powers am m! n Subtracting powers n = a a 1 Negative powers a! n = n a 0 To the zero power a =1 Here are some examples of problems simplified using the above powers: 1 1 (4 3 )3 = 4 9 4!4 = 4 = 4 3 • 55 = 4 8 45 ÷ 43 = 42 4 256 Exercises: Simplify the following problems using exponents (Do not multiply out). 1. 5 2 5 4 = 3. (124 )3 = 2. 7 !37 5 = 4. (6 5 )2 = 5. 5 9 ÷ 5 4 = 6. 10 3 ÷ 10 !5 = 7. 7 !3 = 8. 3!4 = 9. 1240 = 10. - 90 = 11. (35 • 32 )3 = Algebra 1 12. 5 3 • 5 4 ÷ 57 = Page 5 40 = 1 Summer Mathematics Packet Integers I Hints/Guide: To add integers with the same sign (both positive or both negative), add their absolute values and use the same sign. To add integers of opposite signs, find the difference of their absolute values and then take the sign of the larger absolute value. To subtract integers, add its additive inverse. For example, 6 – 11 = 6 + -11 = -5 Exercises: Solve the following problems. 1. (-4) + (-5) = 2. –9 – (-2) = 3. 6 - (-9) = 4. (-6) – 7 = 5. 7 – (-9) = 6. 15 – 24 = 7. (-5) + (-8) = 8. –15 + 8 – 8 = 9. 14 + (-4) – 8 = 10. 14.5 – 29 = 11. –7 – 6.85 = 12. –8.4 – (-19.5) = 13. 29 - 16 + (-5) = 14. –15 + 8 – (-19.7) = 15. 45.6 – (-13.5) + (-14) = 16. –15.98 – 6.98 – 9 = 17. –7.24 + (-6.28) – 7.3 = 18. 29.45 – 56.009 – 78.2 = 19. 17.002 + (-7) – (-5.23) = 20. 45.9 – (-9.2) + 5 = Algebra 1 Page 6 Summer Mathematics Packet Integers II Hints/Guide: The rules for multiplying integers are: Positive · Positive = Positive Positive · Negative = Negative Negative · Negative = Positive Negative · Positive = Negative The rules for dividing integers are the same as multiplying integers Exercises: Solve the following problems. 1. 4 · (-3) · 6 = 4. (!5)(!6 ) = !2 7. 6 (-5 – (-6)) = 10. ! 14 +7 = 2 13. ! 6 ! (!8 ) = !2 2. 5 (-12) · (-4) = 5. 3.

(-4 + 7) (-16 + 3) = 17. 16 – (-13) (-7 + 5) = 18. 19. (-2)3 (-5-(-6)) = 20. 13 (-9 + 17) + 24 = Algebra 1 Page 7 4 + (!6 ) ! 5 ! 3 = !6 +4 ! 12 • (-5) = 4 Summer Mathematics Packet Solving Equations I Hints/Guide: The key in equation solving is to isolate the variable, to get the letter by itself. In one-step equations, we merely undo the operation - addition is the opposite of subtraction and multiplication is the opposite of division. Remember the golden rule of equation solving: If we do something to one side of the equation, we must do the exact same thing to the other side. Examples: 1. x + 5 = 6 2. t - 6 = 7 -5 -5 +6 +6 x=1 t = 13 Check: 1 + 5 = 6 Check: 13 - 6 = 7 6=6 7=7 r 3. 4x = 16 4. 6 • 6 = 12 • 6 4 4 x=4 r = 72 Check: 4 (4) = 16 Check: 72 ÷ 6 = 12 16 = 16 12 = 12 Exercises: Solve the following problems: No Calculators!

In two-step equations, we must undo addition and subtraction first, then multiplication and division. Remember the golden rule of equation solving: If we do something to one side of the equation, we must do the exact same thing to the other side. Examples: x 1. 4x - 6 = -14 2. ! 4 = !8 !6 +6 +6 +4 +4 4x = -8 x 4 4 -6 • = !4 • -6 !6 x = -2 Solve: 4 (-2) - 6 = -14 x = 24 -8 - 6 = -14 Solve: (24/-6) - 4 = -8 -14 = -14 -4 - 4 = -8 -8 = -8 Exercises: Solve the following problems: No Calculators!

(!8)) = 8. 4r + 5r - 6r = 15 + 6 9. 3(5 + x) = 5(7 - (-2)) Page 10 Summer Mathematics Packet Equations - Variables on Each Side Hints/Guide: As we know, the key in equation solving is to isolate the variable. In equations with variables on each side of the equation, we must combine the variables first by adding or subtracting the amount of one variable on each side of the equation to have a variable term on one side of the equation. Then, we must undo the addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division. Remember the golden rule of equation solving. Examples: 8x - 6 = 4x + 5 - 4x - 4x 4x - 6 = 5 +6 +6 4x = 11 4 4 3 x= 2 4 5 - 6t = 24 + 4t + 6t + 6t 5 = 24 + 10t - 24 - 24 -19 = 10t 10 10 9 !1 = t 10 Exercises: Solve the following problems: No Calculators! SHOW ALL WORK. Use a separate sheet of paper (if necessary) and staple to this page. 1. 4r - 7 = 8r + 13 2. 14 + 3t = 5t - 12 3. 4x + 5 = 3x - 3 4. 6y + 5 = 4y - 13 5. 5x - 8 = 6 - 2x 6. 7p - 8 = -4p + 6 Algebra 1 Page 11 Summer Mathematics Packet Inequalities Hints/Guide: In solving inequalities, the solution process is very similar to solving equalities. The goal is still to isolate the variable, to get the letter by itself. However, the one difference between equations and inequalities is that when solving inequalities, when we multiply or divide by a negative number, we must change the direction of the inequality. Also, since an inequality as many solutions, we can represent the solution of an inequality by a set of numbers or by the numbers on a number line. Inequality - a statement containing one of the following symbols: < is less than > is greater than < is less than or equal to > is greater than or equal to _ is not equal to Examples: 1. Integers between -4 and 4. | | | | | | | -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 2. All numbers between -4 and 4. | -4 3. The positive numbers. | -3 | 4 | -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 So, to solve the inequality -4x < -8 becomes -4x < -8 -4 -4 and therefore x > 2 is the solution (this is because whenever we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality must change) and can be represented as: Exercises: Solve the following problems: No Calculators! 1. 4x > 9 2. -5t > -15 3. x !3 2 4. x >2 !4 Algebra 1 Page 12
